Tummy Tuck in Wisconsin

For some people there's just no getting around genetics. All the dieting, Friday night fish fry fasting and crunches in the world won't remove a stubborn layer of fat in the lower abdomen if that's where your DNA deposited it. For other people, there's an additional hurdle to deal with after weight loss — sagging skin that just won't rebound. And for many women, there's just no way to regain a toned tummy once the abdomen has stretched to accommodate childbearing.

If one of these scenarios fits you, don't give up. There actually is a way to improve the look of your midsection — it's called a tummy tuck. And the procedure may be a lot easier and more affordable than you think.

Tummy Tuck Defined

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, removes fat, tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin all in one procedure. The surgeon makes an incision in your lower abdominal wall, separates skin from the tissues underneath, makes the adjustments you've agreed on, and applies sutures and dressings. Abdominoplasty takes a few hours or less, depending on the extent of the surgery.

Fox Valley Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer both the mini-tummy tuck (also called mini-abdominoplasty) and full abdominoplasty procedures for patients in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The mini-tummy tuck has grown in popularity in recent years, as more women choose to surgically remove the excess fat and skin which forms below the navel after having children. Usually a minor office procedure, we can perform mini-tummy tucks in our Oshkosh, Wisconsin, office under local anesthesia, thus minimizing the risks associated with general anesthesia and considerably reducing the cost of the surgery.

Tummy Tuck Procedures in Wisconsin at Fox Valley Plastic Surgery

Dr. David Janssen or Dr. William Doubek will help you determine which type of abdominoplasty is best for you and the best area for an incision. If you're a candidate for a mini-tummy tuck, your procedure will be performed "in-office" and you'll go home the same day.

If you are a candidate for a full abdominoplasty, your procedure will be scheduled in our surgery center and you'll be accompanied by a certified anesthetist. You'll have the option of taking advantage of our state-of-the-art pain management package after surgery, which provides medication as well as other treatments to soothe and calm the affected area. The pain management package can help minimize post-surgical discomfort and downtime.

The doctors will provide you with a DVD to take home explaining pre and post-operative care, including caring for incisions and scar management. This DVD is proprietary and created specifically for Fox Valley Plastic Surgery patients.
